Prediction of solar energetic events impacting space weather conditions: #SpaceWeather Challenges: https://eos.org/science-updates/vast-space-sparse-data-an-ai-answer-to-twin-space-weather-challenges - modern machine learning and AI methods can help heliophysics researchers and space weather forecasters overcome limitations from a dearth of observations and the infrequency of extreme events.

apparently, there was a giant #fireball outside at 10:27pm last night. Took more than 15 seconds to cross the sky! This view from my office window. #lookup #space

Did anyone see or hear of any real-world issues when the CCSDS CUC 1958 epoch crossed 2³¹ seconds on 19 January 2026?
ESA had already warned about this beforehand.
I’m especially interested in actual operational incidents, anomalies, or post-event reports.

NASA’s Voyager 2 survives daring ‘big bang’ maneuver
After 49 years in space, NASA’s Voyagers are running low on power—but an audacious move should extend the tenures of the two spacecraft.

While there was no #Starship launch the #SpaceX webcast contained two unexpected segments, one about a vague plan of a space tourist flight - #Starlink Stargaze system described in https://starlink.com/updates/stargaze and https://breakingdefense.com/2026/01/spacex-unveils-stargaze-space-tracking-system/ and https://smallsatnews.com/2026/02/18/spacex-unveils-stargaze-system-to-revolutionize-space-traffic-management/: apparently there are numerous unlisted satellites in LEO which come so close to the Starlinks that cameras on the latter see them as bright objects. How could those objects have been missed by all space surveillance from the ground?

OMG. People are starting to compare the SpaceX IPO document to the WeWork IPO document.

Looks like we’re now polluting space with satellites so much that stuff is just washing up on beaches. Great.

75 years ago the Soviet #SpaceDogs Dezik and Tsygan became the first vertebrates to survive a spaceflight, if only a suborbital one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dezik_and_Tsygan (and see https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2024/06/11/allgemeines-live-blog-ab-dem-11-juni-2024/ for the first vertebrate to reach space but didn't make it back alive two years earlier).
